I thought exactly like you before i got a merge, now our sage have 60-70 people in it per time and i tell you is a whole mess. Until there aren't less than 30 people left you cannot select people from the screen, you have to actually click on them on the map without knowing at all who you are picking. At the point 30 people are left the games are done and there's nothing you can do to reverse the flow. So, in the end, it's exactly how it was before with the only difference that you don't get anymore the advanced runes if not by luck.

Maybe fron my previous reply you could think I'm against cross server sage.
I'm not at all, I'm just saying that is not better than having your swb from your server that starts thanks to 10 alts. What i wanted, and in the poll that option wasn't there, is that if a swb can start with people from one single server alone it should start even if there's the cross server situation enabled.
Cross server swb is good for every server that aren't able to let it start by themselves and is generally bad for the servers that are able to make it start. The point is that these two positions are not one in opposition to another. They just need to make swb cross server by default but let it start not cross server for every server that's able to have 21+®people registered. That way everyone would be happy.
